HDD hogs: 10 PS3 games with a massive mandatory install

From the article, "The news that Grand Theft Auto V will be squatting on 8GB of my PS3′s hard drive due to a mandatory install stings. That’s a big chunk of memory! You folks with newer PS3s that have at least 160GB hard drives could consider that a mosquito bite, but those of us with HDDs under 80GB will feel that sting.

Yet, we should be used to this by now. If you have a PS3, you have to accept the inevitable mandatory install. It happens. It helps us build a bond. Besides, it isn’t like Grand Theft Auto V is the only game noshing on our hard drives."

and yet my 1tb hdd still has well over 600 gb remaining

levian4315d ago

I have an 80gb model and I've never had the need to upgrade the hdd. That is, until recently when I subscribed to PS+ for the first time.

Uncharted 3, requiring 40gb to download, then around an additional 40gb to install before you can delete the download. Haven't upgraded the hdd yet, but I'm sorely tempted.

i hate redownloading or installing stuff so i tend to keep it etc

Ps i really dont get the phantom dislikes

spaceg0st4315d ago

jesus, 40 gb? it's interesting how the next gen is all about digital downloading, BUT the internet is still the same. So it'd take me all day to download and play a launch day title. I don't see the benefit of that.

Storage space isnt an issue for me.. I put a 500GB HDD in my 60GB phat long ago & PS4 is around the corner.. I really dont care how much install space is taken up at this point

I recall MGS4 taking FOREVER back in the summer of 2008. I mean when you sit there watching Snake smoke cigs the whole time..... This went on after every chapter.

I just looked on my console to see if these file sizes were right.

MGS4 is 4880 ( still on there from 2008 )

Skyrim is 4368 + a 92mb update ( both from near release Dec 2011 )

lol... disagree, just fo..

Worst offender is Resistence 3, try to delete the game data, it takes like an hour

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast7d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic7d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee8d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator7d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast7d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.

My problem with the game is they want to install a Kernel level driver before I can even boot the game in sngle player mode I don't care about GTA online

I flat out refuse to allow any game kernal level it's a huge risk I don't need to take

It's not the only game that has done this. Ut it's absolutely shutting the dorr completely on PC gaming for me kernal level drivers are ineffective at preventing cheaters but publishers insist on continued use

My big issue is how long it takes to transition between open world and interiors in Online.
Sometimes it can take over a minute of just starring at a black screen.

badz14942d ago

Let it sleep already R*. VI is coming and this game has had 12 years in the spotlight.
